On 27th February, the Hornbeam launched a new Eco-Volunteering initiative which aims to become the best source of ethical, well supported, environmental volunteering opportunities in London. We plan to grow the range and depth of green volunteering opportunities throughout Waltham Forest and surrounding boroughs, and to support volunteers who want to make a difference by giving their time to activities that have an environmental focus.

We want to hear from individuals and organisations that are interested in finding out about eco-volunteering opportunities as well as from local organisations with volunteering placements.  Do you know a local environmental project that can provide rewarding volunteer roles? Please contact Iona on 020 8558 6880 or email on volunteering@hornbeam.org

Jonathan (Jo) Brind is a Leyton based video maker who has made a series of videos about Walthamstow Dogs, A V Roe & the first all British flight (on Walthamstow Marsh), Wood Street Market & High Street Market.
His latest video is by far his best. It concerns a world class artist called Clarence Crawford, who creates extraordinary Victorian style oil paintings in Walthamstow.
He is unquestionably incredibly talented but he is completely ignored by the art world even though he has painted for some of the most famous people in the world.
Come and see the world premiere of “Clarence Crawford: Portrait of an Artist.” 7.30pm on Friday 18th January 2013 at the Hornbeam Centre.

Entrance is free.

As the autumn evenings draw in we are very pleased to be providing produce from Organiclea’s Hawkwood growing site to the Hornbeam Café, for ‘Fork to Fork’ – a new seasonal supper club which kicks off on Saturday 10 November, bringing the freshest and tastiest of produce from the garden to the table.

It’s deliciously simple, healthy, food – locally sown, grown, picked and cooked! Some hints from the chefs so far mean we can expect dishes made with squash, beetroot, curly kale, chillies and salad from Hawkwood Nursery, as well as apples from Organiclea’s forest orchard, and there will definitely be some edible flowers in the mix too! Expect warming soups, super salads, hearty main courses and delicious desserts! You can’t get this food anywhere else… All three courses for £14.

The excellent Hornbeam cooks are joined by Tricia Bullen from the Bonnington Café as special guest chef for this autumn celebration.
